build cut thence, with the aid of an air

their lives here many years ago. This is
not the first sign Of activity in connection
with the work that has been manifested
Some months ago, the tunnel as far as it
has been built under the river, on this side
of the stream, was pumped out. No work

The Baby Carriage of To-day.

The number and variety of children's
carriages seen on pleasant day is one
of the evidences of improvement in a
growing and of recent years an import
ant industry. "The baby coach of to-
day." said Mr.. Luburg, of the Luburg
Manufacturing Co., 145 North Eighth
Street, Philadelphia, Pa: has grown
fast and steadily during the past few
years, and the man who cannot afford
q coach for his child is Indeed in poor
circumstances.
We offer this season the latest and
most desirable styles, and have adopted
every improvement possible to make
our coaches models of elegance, dura-
bility and comfort, and are now retail
ing them at our lowest wholesale fac
tory prices.
Our new and novel Automatic Coach
Brake, useful device to prevent the
rolling of carriage when left by its
attendant, is included with all coaches
without any extra charge. Send stamp
for their new illustrated catalogue, and

A Laughing Plant.

The well-known, and once too popu.
lar, intoxicant called Laughing gas" is
the protoxide of nitrogen, an artificial
product of the chemist. We do not
suppose that the same compound
grows in an Arabian bean, but this
vegetable seems to have the same mer
ry virture. Nature Is humorous, as
well as economical, and likes to sur
prise science by duplicating its ex-
ploits.
The laughing plant is not flower
that laughs, but one that creates
laughter, if the printed stories OF
travellers are to be believed. 1t grows
in Arabia, and is called the laughing
plant because its seeds produce effects
like those produced by laughing gas.
The flowers are OF bright yellow,
and the seed pods are soft and woolly,
while the seeds resemble black beans,
and only two or tree grow in pod.
The natives dry and pulverlze them,
and the powder, if taken in small
doses, makes the soberest person be-
have like circus clown or q mad
man; for he will dance, sing, and
laugh, and cut the most fantastic
capers, and be in an uproariously
ridiculous condition for about an
hour. When the excitement ceases
the exhausted exhibitor of these antics
falls asleep and when he awakes he
has not the slightest remembrance Of
his doings. - Fich's Floral Magazine.

just Tell The Truth.

Any one who knows he is telling
the truth can afford to keep COOL --eve1
under the proverbial badgering of @
pert lawyer. The boy who learns thai
lesson at home is fortunate.
A boy Of twelve years old was the
important witness in lawsuit One
of the lawyers, after ss-question
ing him severely, said "Your father
has been talking to you and telling
you how to testify, hasn't he?" eyes, )
said the boy. ''Now," said the law.
yer, "jast tell us how your father told
you to testify" "Well," said the
boy, modestly, "father told me that
the lawyers would try and tangle me
in my testimony; but, if l would just
be careful and tell the truth, | could
tell the same thing every time.
The lawyer didn't try to tangle up
that boy any more.

Mark Twain and the Conductors.

A good story that has not yet been
printed is told of Mark Twain by a
friend. 1t appears that last winter,
having to fill lecturing engagement
in a western city, the humorist boarded
q train that is noted for its slowness
and is always avoided by regular travel
ers. But the lecturing committee had
written to the humorist agreeing to
meet him at the depot upon the arrival
of this train, and so he had no alterna-
tive. Two hours travelling, however,
served to put Mark out Of patience.
Stopping the conductor as he passed
through the car Mark asked as civilly
as he could: "Why don't you people
run this train fasterP" The conductor,
ignorant of who his questioner was, re-
joined: '1t runs fast enough to suit
US. If you don't like the rate of speed
why don't you get out and walkP"
"Well, l would" returned Mark, set
ting back in his seat, "but that some
friends won't come to meet me until
this train arrives, and l don't want to
be waiting around the depot for two or
three hours. " Washington Capital.

The Discoverer of Anthracite Coal.

Anthracite was discovered in Penn.
sylvania in 1890, by Nicholas Allen.
This Allen, according to the stories and
traditions that have been handed down
about him must have been kind OF
American Rip Van Winkle. He had
come down from the Lake Champlain
lumber region, and opened an inn on
the summit of the Broad Mountain. For
time he led q wandering existence,
hunting, fishing, and numbering, while
his wife attended to the wants of thirsty
travellers. In one of his hunting excur-
slons he camped out at the foot of the
Broad Mountain, at a spot where coal
vein cropped out, and, upon lighting a
fire, was astonished at the intense heat
it threw off, He also saw that some OF
the black stone had become red hot. He
dug some of it, and carried it home,
when his wife, more practical than him
self, pronounced it coal. They saw the,
coal crop out in abundance, and visions
OF fortunes that might be realized out
of it flashed through their minds stimuli
taneously. So, -disposingof their effects,
they loaded two large covered wagons
with the coal, and set out for Philadel-
phia, with the intention of marketing it
there and discovering its true value.
They drove along the banks of the
Schuylkill, sleeping in the open air at
night. At Pottstown three of their
horses died, and the coal was dumped
into the river. Wearied and disheart-
ened, the pair returned to the old place
at the summit of the mountain, and
shortly afterward Allen laid his faithful
wife to rest over the coal vein that
proved their ruin, and turned his face
toward the West, where, after an un-
eventful career, he enlisted for the cam
paign under Harrison, and fell at Tip
pecanoe.
